Buffalo and wisdom

Buffalo and wisdom
buffalo friction stones are one of the interesting natural phenomena around Calgary. During the last ice age, this entire area was covered with glaciers. When this glacier went back, they pulled large boulders and rocks with them. When a rock became too heavy to be pulled by the glacier, he found a new home. Some of these stones were transported over hundreds of kilometers and others had the size of a car or truck.
later, as the buffalo herds passed through this area, they loved rubbing over these rocks, especially in spring when they dropped heavy winter coats. The buffalo are no longer here in the large number of past, but people are.
Calgary grew up and around a number of these stones. People feel almost as attracted to them as the buffalo. Many of them are popular tourist attractions. A relatively small buffalo friction lives in a park in my neighborhood. It is hidden on a small grove of trembling esppen and is surrounded by hinge blades, sage and wild asters. When the area was developed, this park remained untouched and was reserved as a natural prairie country.
The neighborhood school regularly takes children with them to the stone as part of their studies in the natural history of this area. I remember that my own children came home very excitedly over this stone and told stories about buffalo hair, which were found in the rock for a long time after the buffalo disappeared.
The stone has the look and feel of a old age, since it is covered with lichen and some moss. It is about shoulder high and is about six feet long and one meter wide. This rock almost demands awe. I find it interesting that it has remained unaffected by the youth of the area, while another smaller stone is covered with graffiti and color about fifteen meters away in the forest.
What does a buffalo -free appearance have to do with wisdom? What is a wisdom? The human spirit has been a great mystery to philosophy and science since eons. Our perceptions are created by our perceptions and our perceptions are colored by our beliefs. No two people will perceive the same event in exactly the same way. It is a miracle that we can get together at all.
For me, a clever spirit uses his perceptions well, no matter how old or young the owner is. The key to wisdom lies in the understanding of your perceptions and your underlying beliefs. And also to understand that no other person will see something like you. This is sometimes refreshing and sometimes really annoying. Maybe this is the birth of compassion.
People usually have great wisdom. Our stories are full of it. Think of Merlin, Gandalf, the magician and that emerged, trees from the old fangorn forest in "The Lord of the Rings".
We have many awareness and/or perception in our minds. One of these layers offers a connection to great knowledge and wisdom. Carl Jung called this the "collective unconscious". I call it my "inner wise".
If I have a problem or a question that I have the feeling that it needs to be input deep inner wisdom or knowledge, I go into a meditative state, calm my mind and please my inner wise to come forward. If my mind is calm enough, I will feel his presence. Then I ask my question, clarify my head and listen. If I get an answer (usually the first thoughts that come to mind), it is still my decision whether I follow her or not.
Since the ancient buffalo friction in our park reminds me so much of my inner wise, I thought I would have a little fun one day and create the perception of introducing them to each other. I offer you this perception for your pleasure.
leaned against the stone, I connected myself to my inner ways and asked what wisdom would share a buffalo friction stone if it could speak. I clarified my head, pen and paper in my hand and I heard that. "Antique is just a mentality, as well as wisdom. Wisdom and knowledge is accessible to everyone, regardless of age. I have seen many age and people do not change. Where is your opinions. Where is your mind now? Is it helping you? People are a gift and I encourage each of you to find inner wisdom. How do you recognize true wisdom? Like a wise person.
